City Dox
CITY
DOX is architectesassoc+’s first project alongside the western stretch of
Brussels’canal zone. The project is an exercise in mixity, offering not just
housing (93 flats) but also ultra-modular workspace floating atop an
uninterrupted semi-industrial ground floor. Accordingly, density and synergy
are critical issues here, leading to attentively assembled volumes
conglomerating to form a coherent city block, itself just one of the dozen or
so constituting this large-scale soon-to-come neighborhood developed by Atenor.
Silhouettes are simple, sometimes askew in order
to widen perspectives, preserve intimacy, and get more sunshine in. Accordingly,
the full-width terraces offer shared views of this peaceful landscape along the
bucolic poplar-lined canal way.
CITY DOX develops 20 608 m² above ground level and 3 512 m² below ground level.
